Spring is just around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to start thinking about the landscaping projects that will transform your outdoor space into an inviting oasis. Whether you’re looking to refresh your garden, revamp your patio, or add some functional features, the right landscaping upgrades can make all the difference. At Landmark Landscaping, we specialize in helping homeowners across Ottawa prepare their outdoor spaces for the warmer months. In this blog, we’ll cover the essential landscaping projects you should tackle to get your outdoor space ready for spring.

Prepare Your Lawn with Spring Maintenance
The foundation of any great outdoor space begins with a healthy lawn. Spring lawn maintenance is critical to ensure your yard thrives all season long. Before the first blooms appear, give your lawn some much-needed attention by removing any debris and aerating the soil. Aerating your lawn helps to break up compacted soil, allowing water, nutrients, and air to reach the roots more effectively.
Once the ground is ready, it’s time to fertilize. Applying a high-quality fertilizer designed for spring will encourage strong growth and vibrant greenery. In addition, reseeding any bare patches and ensuring proper drainage will keep your lawn lush and healthy.
At Landmark Landscaping, we provide expert lawn care services that will give your grass the best chance to grow and flourish this spring. From soil testing to proper fertilization, we ensure your lawn stays healthy and green throughout the season.

Enhance Your Outdoor Patio and Living Areas
As the weather warms up, your outdoor patio becomes the ideal spot for relaxation, dining, and entertaining. If you haven’t yet, consider giving your patio a makeover. Start by refreshing your patio surface with new pavers or interlock stones, creating a solid, durable base that will stand up to the elements.
Adding functional elements like built-in seating, fire pits, or outdoor kitchens can make your patio space even more inviting. These features will not only enhance the aesthetics of your outdoor living space but also provide a welcoming atmosphere for social gatherings.
Landmark Landscaping offers professional design and installation services that can turn your patio into an elegant outdoor living area. Whether you want a small, cozy spot for two or a spacious area for entertaining, we can create a design that complements your home’s style.

Plant Colorful Flowers and Shrubs
Spring is the season for blooms, and there’s no better way to welcome it than by planting colorful flowers and shrubs that add vibrancy and life to your yard. Consider incorporating a variety of perennials, annuals, and shrubs that will thrive in the Ottawa climate. Perennials like tulips, daffodils, and lilies will come back year after year, while annuals such as petunias and marigolds will provide vibrant pops of color throughout the season.
Strategically placing flowers around your yard or along your garden beds can create beautiful focal points and enhance your landscaping. Be sure to include a mix of textures, heights, and colors for a visually appealing garden.
Landmark Landscaping specializes in creating custom garden designs that bring your vision to life. Our team will help you choose the best flowers and shrubs that complement your outdoor space, ensuring your garden looks stunning all season long.

Install Functional Features for Your Outdoor Space
This spring, don’t just focus on aesthetics—consider adding functional landscaping features that will improve the usability of your outdoor space. Think about incorporating pathways, retaining walls, or water features that can serve both a decorative and functional purpose.
Pathways made from natural stone, pavers, or gravel can provide easy access to different parts of your yard while adding charm and structure. A retaining wall can help prevent soil erosion while also creating a distinct look for your garden beds. Adding a water feature, like a fountain or pond, can bring a sense of tranquility to your yard.
By adding these functional elements, you’ll not only enhance the appearance of your outdoor space but also increase its practicality. At Landmark Landscaping, we specialize in designing and installing these features to create a cohesive and functional outdoor environment.
